There are already several different categories modules out there, in fact there is at least one that could be mistaken for this one. So what is the difference?

This module is coded exactly as the sections module, no difference at all. That means that this module has the "Template overrides" possibility which the other modules are missing. It also has the feature to show an article counter beside the category link.

Features
* Copy of Joomla!s section module
* Fully compatible with Joomla! 1.5 template overrides
* Show categories from specific section
* Show article counter for each category

- Upper right corner

Please note, there are no further upgrades planned, this module is released as is and there will be no more feature added to THIS module. Maby others will be released, please send request additions to the appropriate email found on hussfelt.net.

Update
A small update with a neat feature with the option to add the text "Article" or "Articles" after the number has been added.
Also a bugfix showing too many articles in the counter was fixed, thanks to Alex Hokamp for that one!

If you find this module useful, please rate it at the Joomla! extension site!

Thank you!
